Birthday Boy

In this early A.M, Dylan decided to get up at 6:00 A.M because he was too excited to see what was ahead for his 8th birthday. He was not even too exhausted at this early dawn morning. The first thing I did was giving him a eight birthday kisses. This made him feel very special to start off the day.

By the time he got to school, lots of people wished him a nice birthday, especially his classmates and a teacher. I was there to support his birthday song and passing out the cookies to his classmates. He loved the idea of having me being there while I have a lunch break. The best part was handing him the letter about going out to see a movie, "Hotel for Dogs." Boy, he was jumping ups and downs when he read the part of his first present from us.

When we got to the movie right after school (4 P.M.), we saw many empty seats. In fact, we were the first family who joined the movie. Not too long after I took the picture of the boys, two other families came to watch the show. It was a nice feeling to see lots of empty seats especially David and I were able to relax our tiring feet up in a front of the theater seats. Without closed captioned for us, we were able to laugh a lot because there were tons of hilarious actions. The boys gave their thumbs up at the end of the show.

Just in time, we had a nearby dinner at Dylan's choice. He chose California Pizza that was across the street from the movie. That was not our choice, but it was his birthday. Also, it saved our trip from driving and finding another parking space to another place. Just before we left for home, I asked him if he wanted a small birthday ice cream or cake. He did not want either of them. The positive was that it saved our extra money for the food.

Finally just an hour and a half before they hit for sack, we gave Dylan another small surprise birthday gift. It was a gift certificate to keep his Club Penguins activity. This delighted him very much because it was one of the birthday wishes he had wanted. Dylan admitted to me that it was one of best birthdays. That made us feel very good that he felt so good about him especially on his eighth birthday.
